2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · KP14 VXR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving trend in its mechanical presentation. The most recent test in February 2026 at 20,898 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed, and the car currently meets the minimum safety and environmental standards without immediate requirements for repair. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,742 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between February 2024 and January 2025, where the car covered only 6,556 miles in nearly eleven months. While this low annual mileage generally suggests minimal mechanical wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine, the long periods of stationary time often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components that mileage alone cannot reflect. A buyer must pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, as the history shows recurring perishing and cracking issues between 2022 and 2023. Despite the low mileage, age-related dry rot remains a risk for tyres regardless of the distance driven. The 2024 test also flagged surface corrosion and fluctuating front brake discs. While the 2026 pass suggests resolution, a physical inspection should verify that the brake discs are not heavily pitted from disuse and that the calipers are not seizing due to long periods of inactivity.
